Next Door But One

Next Door But One Arts to Share Stories. Arts to Connect Communities. A multidisciplinary applied theatre collective with a passion for the art of sharing.

Our workshops can be used to build group dynamics, to encourage discussion, to explore specific themes, work through issues and gain an alternate perceptive on a situation. We pride ourselves on not just delivering invigorating content, but also offering a safe, secure and 'no pressure' environment for sharing and conversation to occur. Each session can be tailor made to suit the participants with

in your group and what you would like to achieve. We are extremely flexible and offer a competitive rate for sessions. All of which can be negotiated.

ā€˜Hello loveā€™ ā­ļø

Lots of York Carers Centre were commenting on Mattā€™s Tatty Devine necklace at our retreat earlier this week.

Itā€™s his signature greeting that you will hear just after you walk into a room and probably just before he gives you a hug šŸ¤—

Itā€™s a seemingly little thing. Something he wasnā€™t even aware he said, until a friend pointed it out and suggested the necklace.

But actually it says a lot about how we as a company welcome people into the creative spaces we share together.

ā­ļø itā€™s warm
ā­ļø itā€™s friendly
ā­ļø itā€™s familiar
ā­ļø itā€™s consistent
ā­ļø itā€™s recognisable
ā­ļø itā€™s for everyone who shows up

So yes, it might just be a little hello, and a small piece of jewellery, but thereā€™s so much more behind it.

What do you think of when you join a NDB1 space?
